Summary
COVID in the Black Community: Crossing Color Lines – Episode 4 – Dr. Debra Furr-Holden
Here in our last COVID-series episode, Senator Turner talks mandating vaccination equity with Dr. Debra Furr-Holden, epidemiologist, health equity researcher, public health activist and Associate Dean for Public Health Integration at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. Understanding that the good-will of government is simply not enough to get shots into arms, SNT and Furr-Holden break down the facts: there is a hierarchy on the value of human life which has been established by systemic racism. To get vulnerable people vaccinated, there must be a policy on the “how” to get it done. Now. Because, if there is a will, there is a legislative way. #MandateEquity. Hello Somebody!
